I read the start of the article on the front page regarding House Minority Leader Don L. Scott Jr. in the July 14-16 issue of the Richmond Free Press. Turning the page, I expected to find a few more words about him, but saw half a page. I thought that was too much to read, but I started anyway. As I read each paragraph, I became more and more fascinated by the life and experience of Mr. Scott. Upon completing the article, I exclaimed aloud, “At last, I have found the ideal statesman.” I know that we are going to hear much more regarding his leadership. He is an inspired and inspiring man.
